Were you aware you can make your own bobbins with the same color embroidery
thread? You can either use an empty cardboard one (wind by hand--good for a
small onesie) or purchase metal L bobbins at a local fabric store and use a
sewing machine (some have used a drill). I did this for some flannel throws
where the design was a single color.

Just realized a possible solution for the "white" bobbin thread. Someone
brought a karate belt in with a red stripe and wanted a second one added.
It looked like they had used red bobbin and I was jealous, until closer
inspection. It was a permanent marker pen! So, for your normal colors,
just mark the white out. I did his second stipe and the red on both sides
looked great, even if one side was permanent marker red!
